Love Letter Journal: a Cheap, but Meaningful Gift for a Wedding, Anniversary, or Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2013 by Rebekah Hoffer 10 Comments

Love Letter Journal

One of my favorite wedding gifts that Nate and I received was a simple journal.  The enclosed card included instructions for how to use the journal: take turns writing each other a love letter. Nate and I started out writing back and forth to each other quickly.  It was fun to scribble a one page letter of adoration to my young husband and even more thrilling to find the journal waiting for me on my pillow at night. As time has passed, the letters have slowed down, but they will never stop. Since journals can easily be found for less than $15, a love letter journal is a great cheap gift for a wedding, your anniversary, or Valentine's … [Read more...]

Why I Asked 71 People to Write My Husband a Love Letter

February 13, 2012 by Rebekah Hoffer 15 Comments

Valentine's day is traditionally when we express our love, but why limit ourselves?  Today I'm sharing a love-filled gift that is perfect for anytime of year. For my husband's 30th birthday, I surprised him with a box of love letters written by 71 of his friends and family.  I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate and honor Nate's first 30 years of life.  The gift cost me very little, but was worth so much. My husband's letters weren't filled with lines of romance.  Instead, I asked his family and friends to express how much they appreciate Nate.  It was touching to see the letters come flooding into my mail box and to know that … [Read more...]

Planning Now for Frugal & Green Gifts of Jam

June 22, 2011 by Rebekah Hoffer 2 Comments

I have been having so much fun making jam this year.  I have made way more that my small family will be able to consume in a year!  So I plan to give some as gifts.  I might use them for hostess gifts, birthdays or even Christmas.  (Am I really planning ahead for Christmas already!??!) I didn't want to buy a large number of jars so I came up with the idea of using a large baby food jar. These 6 oz. jars are a great little gift size!  Fill them up, let the jam cool and set, screw on the lid tight and pop them in the freezer* until you need a small gift. By planning ahead this summer and making an extra batch or two of jam, I've been … [Read more...]
